Yongle Palace in Shanxi, visit the Eastern Art Gallery!
🌟Yongle Palace, is the largest existing Yuan Dynasty Taoist temple in China. Why is it Taoist, the person commemorated is one of the Eight Immortals, Lu Dongbin, here and Beijing Baiyun Temple and Shaanxi Chongyang Palace are known as the three major ancestral homes of Quanzhen Taoism. Yongle Palace is famous for its mural art all over the world, and is one of the existing ancient mural art treasures in the world, known as the "Eastern Art Gallery".
👍Yongle Palace is located on the east side of Longquan Village, north of Ruicheng County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. The former site is the new site, the original site is under Emei Ridge of Yongle Town, because of the construction of the Sanmenxia Reservoir, so it was relocated. The murals in the temple are exquisite, and the relocation at that time was also the first mural relocation, so a lot of financial and material resources were used, and foreign experts were also asked for help, so that they could be perfectly relocated.
❤Yongle Palace is a typical Yuan Dynasty Taoist architecture, the existing buildings are a door and three halls, namely Wuji Gate, Sanqing Hall, Chunyang Hall, Chongyang Hall. Wuji Gate, also known as Longhu Hall, was originally the palace gate of Yuan Dynasty Yongle Palace. Because the original sculptures of Qinglong and Baihu were slightly between the east and west of the hall, it was called Longhu Hall. Sanqing Hall, also known as Wuji Hall, is the main hall of Yongle Palace, where the highest respected god Sanqing ancestor of Taoism is enshrined. The hall contains a huge mural "Chao Yuan Tu", which covers all four walls. Chunyang Hall, also known as Hun Cheng Hall or Lvzu Hall, enshrines the ancestor of Quanzhen Taoism, Lu Dongbin. The east, north, and west walls of the hall are painted with "Chunyang Emperor Shenyou Xianhua Tu", which describes the life story of Taoist ancestor Lu Dongbin. Chongyang Hall, also known as Qizhen Hall, enshrines Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Taoism. The murals in the hall describe 49 stories of Wang Chongyang and his disciples preaching and preaching. Lv Gongci, the courtyard where Lu Dongbin was born and grew up, after Lu Dongbin's death, the villagers admired his virtues, and they all went to worship and sacrifice, and later received attention from the court and changed to a temple.

Very worth seeing. The Chaoyuan Picture mural is too worth seeing, the murals of the Yuan Dynasty are really classic. Take the 109 road from Yuncheng Railway Station to get off at Tongcheng Dongmao Station and take a taxi for 7 yuan to Yongle Palace.
Take the 109 road from Yuncheng, get off at Huamao Station, take a taxi, 7 yuan to Yongle Palace. I came to Yuncheng three times, and I have no chance to visit Luzu. This time I finally met my wish.
If it is rainy, don't go. The store is not allowed to take pictures, and the weather is not good. Every hall requires a shoe cover. When we went, only the first hall had a stool to change the shoe cover. The other two were not available. The legs and feet were easy to fall. Service management can't keep up.
Originally known as Dachunyang Wanshou Palace, it was built to commemorate the famous Taoist Lu Dongbin in the Tang Dynasty. It is a famous Taoist palace view. It is famous for its exquisite Yuan Dynasty murals and is one of the gems of ancient Chinese mural art. The main building complex of Yongle Palace sits north and south, and along the central axis are arranged in turn with the Dragon and Tiger Palace (Wujimen), Sanqing Palace (Wuji Palace), Chunyang Palace and Chongyang Palace. These buildings reflect the typical Yuan Dynasty Taoist Palace architectural style. Among them, the Sanqing Palace is the most magnificent, is the largest palace in the palace, and is also the essence of the mural art. Especially the "Dynasty Yuan Map" in the Sanqing Temple depicts the magnificent scenes of the Taoist gods worshiping the heavenly throne of the Yuan Dynasty. The picture characters are many, vivid, colorful and smooth. It is the peak of ancient Chinese mural art. It is the study of social life, religious belief, The costume system and so on have extremely high value. What is more shocking is that Yongle Palace has been relocated in order to cooperate with the construction of the Sanmenxia Reservoir of the Yellow River! This is simply an engineering miracle, let people pay homage to the wisdom and courage of ancient craftsmen. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the security uncles in each temple are not only very conscientious, but also enthusiastically share historical events about Yongle Palace with tourists, which gives me a deeper understanding of this place.
It was a bit inconvenient to catch up with the rain when I went, but it did not affect the mood of watching the murals. The three main halls before and after need to wear shoe covers to visit the mural, there are many interpreters, you can hear small stories about the mural, can see the mural up close, it feels more human than Dunhuang.
The treasure house of Chinese art, I have heard of the name of Yongle Palace, and I feel what is shocking after I come. Standing in front of the Yongle Palace wall picture, there is an unspeakable excitement, lamenting how the wisdom and art of the ancients can be so great. This is the ultimate peak of Chinese art painting.
Very recommended attractions, it is best to go to Yuncheng Museum first, you can take pictures. Then look at the murals and algae wells on the spot and listen to the explanation. There are many theme cultural and creative products in the Cultural Center, and the price is good. The scenery on the road is also beautiful
